When it comes to buying dining essentials, the conditions could be confusing, particularly because so many of them end in -ware — flatware, dinnerware and glassware, to name a couple. Flatware includes eating utensils, while dinnerware includes plates, bowls and things used at every place setting, usually part of a group.
Spelling Out the Specifics
Flatware contains steel cutlery put at the supper table at every place setting. A knife, onion and fork are the usual minimum flatware bits at every place, but the place setting may also incorporate a salad fork, butter knife and dessert spoon. Dinnerware, on the other hand, contains the things food is placed on or in at every place setting: the dinner plate, bread plate, soup bowl, and a cup and saucer collection. Some dinnerware places have only four bits, replacing the cup and saucer with a blender. Dinnerware and flatware places lend to a cohesive appearance in the table when you entertain.
